Kingdom Under Fire: HeroesScore: 8.3 / 10
Some games surprise me just by showing up
on my desk. This was the case with Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, a sequel
(actually a prequel to last years Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders) that
should have enjoyed more media exposure leading up to it's launch about
a week and a half ago. But when someone like J Allard, Corporate Vice
President and Chief XNA Architect, tells you at E3 2005, "We're not
doing Xbox 1 games anymore. We're done. Done. Conker is the last one,
which is in manufacturing. All our attention is on Xbox 360," you have
to wonder how far under the radar Heroes was when one of the head
honchos over at Microsoft doesn't even realize it exists. However, fans
of Crusaders will have seen Heroes coming. |
retread but most won't be playing Heroes
for its story. |

over and it's probably the most unforgiving
action/strategy title ever. While Crusaders was difficult, Heroes likes
to kick the player in the groin, repeatedly and often with a steel-toed
boot. When the player does triumph there is a real sense of
accomplishment especially after fighting through some titanic, multipart
mission that not only test your button-mashing abilities but also your
strategic senses.

The Ravens.
That's why I am picking the 49rs.
Gotta zag fellow posters!
Anyone want to share your pick?
I also picked the 9ers to win and have been saying it's not going to be close. BUT... all this talk I'm hearing from Gore and Williams is making me regret picking them.
I still think the 49ers are going to bash the Ravens but if they lose, I can't say I wouldn't be happy about it.
I'm sticking by my Ravens pick.. don't like either team though
I'm thinking Ray Rice goes off..
Picking the Giants.
I don't care for either team. But the Ravens are the less more annoying team. I also think its the Ravens year, after that few game losing streak they have played solid football. And the team got together with Ray Lewis stating he's retiring after the season.
A lot of people keep saying they want to see Ray win one, like he hasn't already...not you of course but where I live. I much rather see Randy Moss get a ring than Ray. Moss has been deprived of the championship with two great teams...the Pats and the Vikings. This is likely his last year too so if I'm pulling for anyone, it's Randy.
I'm picking the Refs for the personal foul penalties that's expected from both defenses.

Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.1 about a week after Snow Leopard shipped, and only days after many Mail plug-in developers added support for the new operating system to their products. Thanks to a change in the way Snow Leopard's Mail application handles plug-ins, however, that minor update means developers have to update their plug-ins every time Mail gets updated, too.
The problem for developers is that Apple changed how Mail interacts with plug-ins in Snow Leopard. Since there's a chance that a plug-in could cause problems with the application, they are all disabled when Mail is updated.
"One important change in Mail 4.X (10.6) with respect to plugins is that each maintenance release of Mail will disable plugins that are not specifically compatible with the maintenance release," Mail Act-On developer Scott Morrison said on his indev blog.
Ken Aspeslagh from ecamm agreed. "Each new version of Mail and the associated Message framework includes a unique code. Plug-ins have to explicitly declare themselves compatible with each new version," Mr. Aspeslagh told The Mac Observer. "There is some sense to this as plug-ins are closely tied to the inner working of Mail, and stand the chance of breaking when Mail.app updates. Apple didn't want to take this chance, so now they automatically disable all plug-ins with each update."
While the change translates into headaches for developers that now have to release compatibility updates every time Apple modifies Mail, the changes they'll have to make to their plug-ins will be trivial in most cases. Assuming their plug-ins don't break some functionality in Mail, they simply need to update an identifier code number in their plug-in to match the new number in the Mail application.
"This new method seems like it will require an update of every plug-in every time Apple updates Mail," Mr. Aspeslagh said.
The process seems pretty straight forward and simple for developers and end users alike, but it does break most automated update tools like Sparkle. Sparkle checks for updates after a plug-in loads and alerts the user if a newer version is available. Since Mail automatically disables all plug-ins that don't have a matching code number, Sparkle-enabled plug-ins won't get checked.
The change also means that plug-in versions will be tied to specific point releases of Mail, so using a newer version of a plug-in with an older version of Snow Leopard's Mail probably won't work, either.
The upside of Apple's plug-in compatibility changes in Mail means that end users will hopefully see fewer crashes related to third-party add-ons. The down side is that they probably won't want to install system updates until after they know compatible versions of the plug-ins they rely on are available.
so using a newer version of a plug-in with an older version of Snow Leopard's Mail probably won't work, either.
Actually this assumption doesn't hold true (at least with the 10.6.1 update). Mail just checks for the presence of the currently required UUIDs in a list of UUIDs, and doesn't do a check for old UUIDs.
Mind you it is up to the plugin developer to have the necessary code to address different versions of Mail.
Thanks for the clarification, Scott! I have a feeling there's going to be a bit of confusion while users sort out which plug-ins work for them between OS updates.

Accountants Support Prohibition on Taxing Non-Resident Retirement Income
The law amends Title 4 of the Untied States Code to clarify the treatment of self-employment for purposes of the limitation of State taxation of retirement income. Specifically, the law clarifies that U.S.C. Section 114(a) covers nonresident retired partners.
"The new law ensures that states' tax rules for retirees are uniform, whether the retiree was an employee or partner," Tom Ochsenschlager, AICPA Vice President – Taxation, said in a prepared statement. "It guarantees equity."
The passage and enactment into law of H.R. 4019 [1] clarifies the original intent of a 1996 law that prohibits states from taxing nonresident employees' retirement income. The new law applies to amounts received after December 31, 1995. Under the law, "States could not impose an income tax on nonresident retirement income received under certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans, including written plans, in effect at the time of retirement, providing for payments to a retired partner in recognition of prior service," according to CCH, a Wolters Kluwer company. Further, the law clarifies the definition of "substantially equal periodic payments" to permit plan caps on retiree payments and cost of living adjustments.
Ochsenschlager said enactment of the bill is important to many CPAs who are, or were, partners of accounting and consulting firms. "On behalf of our members, we thank the Congress and President for moving expeditiously to correct this unintended consequence of the tax law when it was exposed," he said.

DeShaun Dupree Holton (October 2, 1973 – April 11, 2006), better known by his stage name Proof, was an American rapper and actor from Detroit, Michigan. During his career, he was a member of the groups Goon Sqwad, 5 Elementz, Promatic, and most notably, D12. He was a close childhood friend of rapper Eminem, who lived on the same block. In 2006, Proof was shot and killed during an altercation at the CCC nightclub in Detroit.
Early life[edit]
Holton was born to Sharallene "Pepper" Holton, a single mother.[1] His father, McKinley Jackson, was a music producer who left to pursue his career prior to Holton's birth.[2] Holton grew up in Warren, Michigan where he met childhood friend and future musical collaborator Marshall Mathers, who would later rise to fame as Eminem.
Music career[edit]
Originally known as Maximum, under the moniker "Proof", Holton first rose to national prominence as a part of the rap group D12, a hip-hop group he was instrumental in forming. Early individual accomplishments include being featured in The Source's "Unsigned Hype" column in 1999 and nearly winning the 1998 Blaze Battle. His first television appearance was in the video for Aaliyah's "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number". In 2000, Proof toured with Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg in the Up In Smoke Tour, performing as a hype man for Eminem. He gained further exposure in 2001 with the release of Devil's Night, D12's debut album on Interscope Records. The following year, Proof collaborated with Dogmatic on "Promatic" and joined Eminem's "Anger Management" tour in support of the release.[3] He appeared in the film 8 Mile along with Eminem and Xzibit, although the character based on him, Future, was portrayed by Mekhi Phifer. Proof appeared as Lil' Tic, a freestyle rapper who rap battles the lead character, B-Rabbit, played by Eminem.[4] To capitalize on the publicity from the film, Proof released a six-song EP called Electric CoolAid: Acid Testing.[5] Proof also starred in a cameo role, alongside the rest of D12 (except for Eminem), in The Longest Yard, appearing as "Basketball Convicts" during the credits.[clarification needed]
Solo work[edit]
Proof released a solo album featuring collaborations with 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, Eminem, and D12. The album was released on his own Iron Fist Records label in conjunction with Alliance Entertainment's IDN Distribution. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to "build his own thing".[citation needed] Called Searching for Jerry Garcia, the album was released on August 9, 2005 on his own Iron Fist Records label, ten years to the day following Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia's death. It contained the prophetic song Kurt Kobain in which he wrote of his own death and 'passing the sign' to 1st Born as his protégé once he was gone.[6][7] Proof has said that he considered Garcia to be a "genius" who suffered from common character flaws. Proof has stated his admiration for Garcia's eclectic style, saying that Garcia "went against the grain".[8] Proof stated how he wanted to be remembered in an interview with SOHH.com shortly after his album release: "I want people to say that I was a true artist, that I did it best and stayed true to Hip Hop roots [...] I'd want people to understand I did it for the love, not for the charts."[9] The album received favorable reviews, which commented on its "eclectic" and "introspective" nature.[10] Despite its list of guest appearances and favorable reviews, the release did not make a significant impact on the charts.
Proof also recorded a track, "How I Live," with Twiztid for their album Independents Day shortly before his death.[citation needed] Besides these, he recorded during his Gold Coast tour in 2006, which was exactly two weeks before his death, a song with "Liquidsilva" from Australia.
On April 11, 2006, Proof was shot four times by Mario Etheridge, after an altercation broke out during a game of billiards at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan. A pool game between Proof and Keith Bender turned into a heated argument and then escalated into a physical altercation. Etheridge, who was Bender's cousin, fired a warning shot into the air. There have been many conflicting reports about Proof and Keith Bender's roles in the shooting, but it was reported that Proof then shot Bender in the head during the altercation.[11] Bender was not immediately killed by the gunshot but died a week later from his injuries.[12] In response to Proof allegedly shooting Bender, Etheridge then shot Proof four times, twice in the head and twice in the chest, killing him at the scene. At the time of his death, Proof's blood alcohol content was 0.32, four times the legal DUI limit. An autopsy revealed that he did not have any illegal drugs in his system. Proof's lawyer, David Gorosh, accused the police and the media of being "reckless" for suggesting that his client fired the first shots without having any hard evidence. A few weeks after both men's death, Bender's family began a wrongful death suit against Proof's estate.[13][14] Authorities determined that Etheridge was acting lawfully in defense of another; however, he was found guilty of carrying an illegal firearm and discharging it inside of a building.[15]
On April 19, 2006, Proof was buried in the Fellowship Chapel in Detroit to a full house of 2,660, including long time friend Eminem, Royce Da 5'9 and thousands more mourning outside.[16]
Seven months after Proof's death, his close friend Reginald "Mudd" Moore, who was with him at the nightclub where he was killed, gave an exclusive interview with XXL magazine where he told a different account of what happened that night. In Mudd's version of the events, Proof is portrayed neither as the instigator nor a cold-blooded killer. According to Mudd, the night started out with him and Proof and two of their friends barhopping. They arrived at the Triple C club at around 3:30am where a fight between Keith Bender and Proof escalated over a pool game. The bouncer Mario Etheridge then pulled out his gun and fired two shots into the air to break the fight up, but instead the shots caused panic. Mudd went on to state that an intoxicated Proof pushed him out of the way, reached for his gun and fired once into the air. Keith Bender then came from behind and started attacking Proof trying to get the weapon out of his hand. Etheridge then came over and started shooting in the direction of both Proof and Bender, killing them both.[17]
In 2008, Welsh singer/songwriter Jem dedicated the song "You Will Make It" to the memory of Proof (listed under his birth name DeShaun Holton) on her second album Down to Earth.[18] In the liner notes, she said "For your families and friends and for all those who experienced the tragedy of sudden loss".[19]

When Allbaugh resigned to take on his duties at New Bridge, it was widely seen as a cash-out. But there is little reason to believe he would walk out on his friend and boss on the verge of a presidential election. As a lobbyist, he may not be leaving Bush's circle so much as becoming a different kind of operative, able to bind corporate and lobbying dollars to White House priorities.
On October 5, much to Secretary Rumsfeld's surprise, Iraq officially became a White House operation. Placed under the stewardship of the National Security Council, Iraq is now a Condi Rice responsibility, which puts it about halfway between Rumsfeld and Karl Rove. According to the next day's New York Times, "Ms. Rice called it 'a recognition by everyone that we are in a different phase now' that Congress is considering Mr. Bush's . . . [supplemental] request."
Why congressional deliberations would usher in a different phase was left unstated, but the relation between Congress and the national security advisor became clear four days later. Bill Young, chair of the House Committee on Appropriations, was concerned that Rice, who is appointed by the president and not confirmed by Congress, cannot be called before Congress, nor compelled to turn over informationon, say, how contracts get awarded. As such, he drafted an amendment precluding her stewardship over the spending. It passed unanimously.
Rice, meanwhile, had already appointed a four-person steering committee, called the Iraq Stabilization Group. Their brief was to coordinate the various government agencies and keep things moving in Baghdad. Why? Because as the campaign season progresses, Iraq's predicament will become an ever more sensitive issue. "Forget all the talk about Arab democracy," Professor Ferguson said. "The election these guys are focused on is right here at home."

dc.description.abstract | The nuclear renaissance promises significant benefits to the international community, but also raises security challenges, particularly relating to the trade of nuclear materials and equipment. The objective of this paper is to examine how supply-side non-proliferation efforts can be strengthened by developing a best practices model for national nuclear export control implementation. In order to achieve this goal, nuclear export control measures identified by the 1540 Committee will be used as a framework from which a best practices model can be formed. Such a model concentrates specifically on national legislation and enforcement measures delineated by the Committee in order to bring countries in accordance with international law. Developing a best practices model seeks to deliver an ideal process for national export control law actualization in order to encourage the peaceful development of nuclear energy and develop the infrastructure and framework for precluding nuclear proliferation. | en |

Merritt, Stephin (b. 1966?) and the Magnetic Fields
Featuring an openly gay singer-songwriter and an openly lesbian accompanist and chanteuse singing songs about love in all its permutations, the Magnetic Fields have produced some of the most critically acclaimed queer-themed popular music in recent memory. Front man, composer, and lyricist Stephin Merritt was born in Yonkers, New York, likely around 1966, though his biographical details are sketchy and he will not publicly reveal his birthdate. A classically trained musician, he also had experience recording his own music on a four-track by his early teens. He attended film school and has even scored films. Around 1990, while living in Boston, Merritt teamed up with college friends Sam Davol (cellist and flautist), John Woo (guitarist), and Claudia Gonson (pianist and drummer, as well as sometime vocalist and band manager) to form the Magnetic Fields as a vehicle for Merritt's prodigious songwriting talent. Their first record, Distant Plastic Trees, was released in the United Kingdom later that year. The Fields' initial outings also featured vocalist Susan Amway interpreting Merritt's often brooding and vaguely confessional lyrics. On later records, Merritt began singing his own material, though he still frequently has other vocalists interpret his work. Indeed, such vocal variation is a significant feature of his recorded output. On the album Wasps' Nests (1995), recorded by the 6ths (another band of Merritt's), twenty different singers interpret twenty different songs. Merritt, meanwhile, regularly covers other artists' work live as one-third of The Three Terrors, who give annual concerts in New York. In his passion for song-craft and technical perfection, Merritt has cited ABBA, Irving Berlin, and Glenn Gould as among his most important influences. His compositions tend to use thin sounds to build up a "wall of sound," characteristic of producer Phil Spector's early 1960s outings with "girl groups" such as the Ronettes. This technique, along with the Fields' extensive use of electronic instrumentation on their earlier recordings (notably Holiday, 1993; Get Lost, 1995), had the effect of muting the range and richness of Merritt's voice, as well as obscuring his eloquent and often bitterly humorous lyrics. On more recent albums, which are characterized by their reliance on sparser arrangements and more acoustic sounds, notably Merritt's signature ukulele, these problems have been less noticeable. By 1995 the members of the Magnetic Fields had moved from Boston to New York, where Merritt worked as a copy-editor for Spin and turned out acerbic and incisive music reviews for Time Out New York, and Claudia Gonson became a doctoral student in English literature at the City University of New York. Through several releases on minor labels, the Magnetic Fields as well as Merritt's other ensembles--the 6ths, the Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes (the last featuring Gonson on vocals)--had received some critical attention but rather limited exposure. The breakthrough for the Magnetic Fields came in 1999 with 69 Love Songs, a triple album that showcases Merritt's formidable talent and breadth as a songwriter. It also sheds a good deal of light on the enigmatic Merritt's preoccupations. Running the gamut of moods, from ardent to horny to ironic to pathetic, 69 Love Songs covers (and even satirizes) genres from punk rock to experimental music, country-western, gospel, blues, and jazz. Its sixty-nine tracks (from whence the album's signally irreverent title is derived) contain paeans to Hollywood movie musicals of the 1930s ("Busby Berkeley Dreams"), murderous fantasies about linguists ("The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure"), and possibly the only love song ever written about Washington, D. C. The entire songbook is underscored by the narrator's ambivalent stance towards love, sentimentally embracing its redemptive possibility on the one hand, yet cynically remarking upon its ephemeral nature on the other. It was voted album of the year by the Village Voice; its critical popularity led to the Fields' performing the album in its entirety live at Lincoln Center. Like the work of many other gay popular musicians, Merritt's compositions rarely specify the gender of the object of affection (or for that matter, scorn). While only a few of the 69 Love Songs are explicitly addressed by a man to a male lover as is "When My Boy Walks down the Street" ("Amazing / He's a whole new form of life / Blue eyes blazing / And he's going to be my wife"), nearly all the songs are directed at an anonymous "you" and readily lend themselves to appropriation by listeners of various sexual persuasions. Merritt's open acknowledgment of his sexuality in the press has led to some fairly specious critical readings of his songs. Many critics have interpreted Merritt's mentions of marriage in his lyrics as the songwriter stumping for this institution to be extended to same-sex couples. Merritt has categorically rejected such interpretations and perennially plays down the influence of his sexuality on his compositions.

Did you know that oral cancer steals the life of one American every hour? We don't hear much about oral cancer, but 30,000 patients will be diagnosed this year. Only half of patients diagnosed with oral cancer will survive longer than five years. Because it is often detected in the later stages, oral cancer's mortality rate is higher than that of cervical cancer, Hodgkin's disease, brain, liver, kidney, or ovarian cancer. Treatment for oral cancer often causes disfiguration and lessens the patients quality of life.
Thanks to amazing new technology, ViziLite and VELscope, dentists and hygienists can quickly and painlessly screen for oral cancer. ViziLite and VELscope are an identification and marking system that detects tissue abnormalities and is used in combination with traditional visual exams.
All adults should have an annual ViziLite or VELscope exam because a quarter of oral cancer victims are non-smokers, don't drink, and have no lifestyle factors to heighten their oral cancer risk. Men over 40 are the most prone to the disease, although the number of women with oral cancer has risen in recent years, due to the increased number of women smokers. Patients with lifestyle risks, including any tobacco use, daily alcohol consumption, viral infections, autoimmune deficiencies like HIV, and diabetes, may need more frequent evaluations.
The screening involves a few simple steps. First, you rinse thoroughly with a cleansing solution. Then, your dentist dims the overhead lights and examines your mouth using the ViziLite or VELscope wand. If ViziLite finds a problem area, the spot will become illuminated and appear distinctly different from the surrounding normal tissue.
While all of this information sounds disheartening, if oral cancer is found and treated in the early stages the condition has an 80 to 90-percent cure rate.

Vaccine Guide for Dogs and Cats: What Every Pet Lover Should Know
Veterinary vaccines are given to prevent disease, yet studies show that they are often debilitating and fatal. They have been linked to autoimmune and neurological disorders, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, tumors, seizures, allergies, digestive problems, organ failure, and many other serious ailments. Many veterinarians, both conventional and holistic, are questioning the validity of annual revaccination. They are moving away from this arbitrary recommendation which is unsupported by science. Many also refuse to use certain vaccines because the disease in question is either so benign or rare that the risks associated with vaccination outweigh any promised benefit. This important book provides information on all canine and feline vaccines. It includes several personal stories of vaccine damage to family pets, as well as hundreds of studies documenting veterinary vaccine safety and efficacy problems. As a concerned pet owner, you can now make informed decisions about the health and welfare of your precious four-legged friends.

By Debbie Emery – Radar Reporter
After only two days presenting its case, the defense in Jerry Sandusky's child abuse trial rested on Wednesday morning without calling the former Penn State football coach to the stand as anticipated.
The Bellefonte, Pennsylvania court was dismissed and proceedings will resume on Thursday with closing arguments before the high-profile case is handed over to the jury to decide the fate of the 68-year-old alleged pedophile.
PHOTOS: Top Celebrity Sex Scandals
In their final attempt to undermine a key witness, former graduate assistant Mike McQueary, Sandusky's attorneys called Dr. Jonathan Dranov, a family friend who was called to McQueary's home the night he allegedly caught his mentor in the shower with a young boy, reported the New York Times.
"His voice was trembling, his hands were shaking," said the physician, who revealed that the account McQueary gave him differed from what he testified on the witness stand last week.
He said McQueary told him that a boy stepped out of the shower, not seeming upset, and then "an arm reached out and pulled the boy back." A little later, he saw Sandusky step from the shower, but Dranov said, he did not claim to have seen any sexual contact between Sandusky and the boy.
On Tuesday, the defendant's wife of 46 years, Dottie Sandusky, took the stand and said she never saw any inappropriate conduct between her husband and alleged victims, but she also said she couldn't think of a good reason why the alleged victims or McQueary would lie.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Done Jail Time
Prosecutors rested their case Monday after presenting 21 witnesses, including eight who said they had been assaulted by Sandusky.
The scandal has shaken Penn State to its very foundation, provoking the firings of several high-ranking officials for their inaction when allegations of Sandusky's pedophilic tendencies began sprouting up.
Most notably, longtime Head Coach Joe Paterno, who has since died from cancer, was fired for a perceived non-response to a 2002 report from McQueary that Sandusky had raped a 10-year-old boy in the Penn State locker room showers.

Given recent statements by the SEC Chairman Mary Jo White, the SEC is committed to increasing adviser oversight through compliance exams. It is no longer a question of "if" they will come knocking, but "when."
An SEC examination can be stressful and unnerving; at minimum it is somewhat disruptive. To help ease the uncertainty and make sure you are in the best position to come through the exam unscathed, it helps to know what to expect.
To start, the SEC's stated goal when conducting examinations is to determine whether the firm is:
Conducting its activities in accordance with the federal securities laws and rules;
Adhering to the disclosures it has made to investors; and
Implementing supervisory systems and/or compliance policies and procedures that are designed to ensure that the firm's operations are in compliance with the law. What that means in Plain English is that firms need to have something in place that is actually reflective of their business practices. I am always caught by surprise how often this is NOT the case.
In many cases, firms will receive a letter announcing the examination and requesting information or documents pre-visit.

It has ignited a pretty healthy debate, Prime. I think the premise is interesting, though I don't see them doing a race and a soccer match at the same time. Two words: lung cancer. Idaho might be a perfect place for sub-MLS soccer, and could be a lynchpin market for a revamped USL Pro western division if they had the cojones to try it. All they have in the summer is short-season A ball. I checked it out on Google Earth. The track could pull off a 105mx68m field.
Here's a link to the feasibility study ... http://economicdevelopment.cityofboise.org/PDF/StadiumMarketStudy.pdf
Awesome, love to hear that they might put down turf since they are worried about soccer's impact on the baseball surface. Great way to start. Like the idea of another PDL team owned by a sports team though.
Slightly surprising since PDL teams only play 8 home games (and maybe a few playoff games?). I wonder how much of an impact the Sporting KC Wizards games had on that minor league park they were playing in last year.
If they did manage to build a new baseball stadium downtown, do you think they could do a soccer team with a stadium at the current Memorial Stadium site?

| PDF 218Kb |
The hydrographic features of the waters along the Gujarat Coast during the summer period of 1963 are presented and discussed. During this period the waters were mostly isothermal within the continental shelf and a thermocline was perceptible only outside the shelf. Maximum salinity was observed in the region off Porbandar which again was the region of minimum temperature and maximum dissolved oxygen content. A southward increase in temperature was associated with a southward decrease in salinity. The sinking and spreading of high saline waters from the Gulf of Aden and Persian Gulf were perceptible in investigational area.

ARLINGTON — After much anticipation, the city of Arlington began construction the week of Monday, April 8, through Friday, April 12. on the final phase of improvements to 67th Avenue NE. The fully-funded project includes improvements that are designed to benefit drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians, including a new road surface and center-turn lane, a traffic signal at 211th Place NE, and completion of the Centennial Trail. Construction is anticipated to last approximately one year.
"This is an important project for the city of Arlington and we are committed to keeping the community informed about our progress and potential impacts," Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert said. "The city is also committed to providing access throughout the project area so customers can continue supporting our local businesses."
During the first two weeks of construction, the public can expect to see crews mobilizing equipment, staking out the construction area, placing construction signage, installing erosion control measures such as silt fences, saw-cutting sections of the existing roadway, and removing landscaping in the project area.
During the week of April 8-12, drivers can expect minor traffic impacts, with possible slowdowns expected near the entrance of the construction yard on 211th Place NE due to large equipment moving into the area. During the week of April 15-19, traffic on 67th Avenue NE will be shifted toward the east side of the roadway to begin work on the west side near the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times through on-site flaggers and other traffic control measures. Motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists are encouraged to exercise caution when traveling through the project area in order to help maintain safety.
To keep the community informed throughout construction, the city has set up a project website at www.67thAve.org and will provide regular updates through the city's e-newsletter. The public can also email questions to email@example.com or call the project information line at 360-594-2425.
The city of Arlington has been working since 2001 to improve safety and mobility for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians on 67th Avenue NE. The 67th Avenue Final Phase includes improvements to 67th Avenue NE between 204th Street NE and Lebanon Street. It has taken many seasons of hard work to get to this point in the project and the city of Arlington looks forward to the end result.

Published: Thu Apr 3, 2003
More than 42,000 people are killed on U.S. roads each year, and in a typical month, more people die in traffic accidents than were killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.Those statistics will be put in perspective along with a discussion on the factors most relevant in traffic accidents and suggestions on how to improve traffic safety in a free seminar at Tennessee Tech University next Friday, April 11, at 11 a.m. in Bruner Hall Auditorium Rm. 119. The public is invited to attend.
Dr. Leonard Evans, president of Science Serving Society and guest lecturer for the TTU Chapter of Sigma Xi, will give the talk titled "Death on the Roads: The nature of the problem and a better solution." Evans will talk about the fact that other nations have substantially reduced deaths from traffic crashes, but the United States has not.
A former General Motors employee, Evans received his Ph.D. in physics from Oxford University. His research interests are reflected in his book, Traffic Safety and the Driver, and some 138 journal publications. He gave the keynote address in Dublin at the 1998 international conference on "The Older Driver, Health and Mobility." A member of the National Academy of Engineering, Evans is also president of the International Traffic Medicine Association and a past president of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine and has received awards from both organizations.

Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 9
Mixed: 2 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
Aug 30, 2011The album's use of vocal samples, something less prevalent on Resurgam, feels incredibly fresh, and produces some of Fever Dream's best moments.
Aug 30, 2011Alias gives us a promise that, after closing a three-year mute gap, after a decade of production and creation, there is still in him an artist to be excited about.
Aug 31, 2011From the first beat drop, Fever Dream is obviously informed by the vaporized, off-kilter instrumentals of Flying Lotus and likeminded contemporaries: beats shuffle and scatter, bass hits low and leaves space in its wake, samples hiss and dissipate like the air is being sucked out of them, synth lines falter and wobble.
Aug 30, 2011Fever Dream may not be the most revolutionary electronic album of the year but as a whole, it's strong, and will prove an enjoyable journey for fans of instrumental hip-hop, triphop and chillwave, as well as anyone who is partial to the occasional moment of dreamy, psychedelic dance.
Aug 31, 2011For much of the album, disparate elements come together in complicated ways that are cerebral, sensual and spiritual all at once. Nicely done.
Aug 30, 2011Aptly-titled, Fever Dream's gentle and imaginative hip-hop beats waft by leisurely, attractive on the surface but substantive and personal on the inside.
Aug 30, 2011In the one-sheet that accompanies the album, Alias (born Brendon Whitney) explains that the album was primarily inspired by the birth of his daughter, and it's easy to hear his exuberance, which comes through on even the quietest moments.

Empirical Evidence on Capital Investment, Growth Options, and Security ReturnsChristopher W. AndersonUniversity of Kansas - School of Business Luis García-FeijóoFlorida Atlantic University - Department of Finance July 26, 2002 Abstract: The model and simulations of Berk, Green, and Naik (BGN, 1999) suggest that exercise of growth options alters firm-specific characteristics such as firm size (MVE) and book-to-market ratio (B/M) commensurately with changes in systematic risk. Consistent with BGN, we show empirically that classification of firms to MVE and B/M portfolios as in Fama and French (1992, 1993) is conditioned on recent growth in capital expenditures. Specifically, firms classified as big and low-B/M (B/L) significantly accelerate investment prior to the classification year. In contrast, firms classified as small and high-B/M (S/H) reduce investment. We also find that stock returns vary inversely with prior investment growth, that the value premium diminishes after categorizing stocks by investment growth, and that variables based on growth in capital expenditures explain stock returns in cross-section and portfolio returns in times series. These empirical results are consistent with the notion that exercise of growth options affects firm-specific characteristics such as MVE and B/M and exposure to systematic risk.

So, a few weeks ago, Bailey posted an "Outfit-of-the-Day" {OOTD} photo on Instagram of the clothing she put together and everyone commented by asking what it was that she had done with her hair. We've never filmed a tutorial for this hairstyle, as it was one she had been making on her own, so we decided post her video of it today!
I love this quick Dutch Accent Ponytail hairstyle because it is so easy to create and something you can do in under two to three minutes in the morning. It can also be done on either wet or dry hair.
You can watch the tutorial below…
I love seeing Bailey step into my shoes on our blog and YouTube channel. The grow up so fast, don't they? She's developed such a cute on-screen personality, and I think Bailey is more comfortable filming tutorials than I am! Here are a few more shots…
To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our CGH-App, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHDutchAccentPony
The point of this hairstyle is for it to be simple, and easy to do, but with a super cute look. You can add a base of curls to it, add a bow or other accessory, etc, as well.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 ponytail holder, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
As always, thanks again for following our posts, and if you enjoyed this easy Dutch Accent Ponytail hairstyle tutorial by Bailey, please let her know in the comment section below!
Happy Hairstyling!
So you all know that I showed you BrooklynAndBailey's Easter Egg tutorial from last week. What did we do with the eggs? Well, you'll have a great time laughing as they play Easter Egg Roulette with raw and hard-boiled versions of the eggs! To watch the video, click below…
It's that time of year again, where we start seeing heart hairstyles everywhere! Just take a look at your Instagram explore feed! With Valentine's Day just a few days away, not every girl is OK with wearing a huge heart braid on her head… especially older teenagers like my twins!
Every year, we try hard to come up with at least one hairstyle that is subtle enough, yet still festive for the Valentin's holiday. Today's Heart Ponytail tutorial is one that is sleek enough, with a subtle heart accent, that older girls and women will wear it and love it.
To see how we created this cute ponytail, simply click the video below:
In fact, Brooklyn volunteered to be my model this day, and while we were out filming the outside shots, several women stopped by to watch. You could hear them whispering to each other, commenting on Brooklyn and how cute they thought the ponytail was! Anytime we took a break, they would come up to me and ask how how we created the heart!
To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our CGH App, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHHeartPonytail
It only takes about 3 minutes to create this hairstyle, very little time at all, and I guarantee you will get compliments all day long!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, pomade or spray wax, 1 ponytail holder, 1-2 small bobby pins, 2 small clear hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
So, what are your family traditions for Valentine's Day? I love hearing your ideas. Please leave a comment below!
Shaun gets up early every Februrary 14th to make us pink heart pancakes with bacon, eggs, strawberries, and strawberry milk. Shaun and I then send flowers to the girls during school. It's funny, because all their friends end up thinking they have a secret admirer… the kids love it!
Happy Hairstyling!
You'll all get a kick out of the video Brooklyn and Kamri filmed one day when Bailey was away cheering for a game. It's called The Smoothie Challenge, where you draw from among 10 great smoothie ingredients, and 10 disgusting ingredients, blend them, and drink it! You can find the video on BrooklynAndBailey's YouTube channel, or simply click below!
When we started playing around with this hairstyle, it totally seemed like something a viking princess would've worn, hence the name we gave it. It also as a cute modern boho look that is fits right in with styles that are becoming popular today!
For this tutorial, we only created the braid on one side, simply to accent the fluffy ponytail. You could do this on both sides for an even more "viking" look. We began the hairstyle with 2nd-day curls as a base, only because we didn't want a fully curled and defined look. We wanted the hairstyle to still have volume, but not over the top. The rest of the steps are super easy to follow.
I can see girls of all ages wearing this braid and ponytail, especially for girls in sports. It is just another cute way to spice up a simple ponytail.
To see your own photo recreations featured in our CGH app, please feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle on IG with: #CGHVikingBraid
If you can't tell, Brooklyn loves hairstyles like this one. She says it is because they aren't super girly, which suits her personality to a "T". She's worn this look a bunch lately, with lots of compliments, so she volunteered to be our model today.

Good luck!
Comment on this post »A few months ago, Alicia, my friend from high school shared a photo with me on Facebook of this hairstyle that she simply could not figure out. At first, I couldn't either.
It took several weeks, trying to reverse engineer the style in the photo, but the girls and I finally cracked the code! Today, we will be showing you how to create a Banded Puff Braid – a beautiful faux braided hairstyle that we know you'll love!
This technique involves the use of small banded tiebacks to create this style, threading your newest one under and up through the previous one. Then as you go, simply pancake the stitches to your liking. You can do as many, or few, stitches as you want… it's entirely up to you!
The steps may seem confusing at first, especially in the beginning as it was for me. Then you will see that as you go along, the steps will go faster and the puff braid will take shape, and you will LOVE it!
To see your own photo recreations featured in our CGH App, feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle on IG with: #CGHBandedPuffBraid
We've stopped every time we go out wearing this braid! Women and girls will simply want to know how you created it!
You can leave this braid as we have done, or finish the bottom ponytail into a braid, tucking and rolling it all up and underneath the puff braid for a gorgeous updo. Creating this on a base of curls, would make it super elegant as well! Your options really are limitless!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 10-12 small hair elastics, hairspray or hair wax, accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 15-20 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
What do you think about this Banded Puff Braid? How many ways can you think of to incorporate this fun braid into a combo? Feel free to share this with a friend you want to learn this hairstyle with you!
Happy Hairdoing!
This week, Bailey gives us all a peek into her mornings {getting up at 4:45am}, as she goes to seminary/bible study and prepares for early AM cheer practice before school. Her Get Ready with Me – Cheer Edition video is now on their BrooklynAndBailey YouTube channel! To see the video, simply click below…
Comment on this post »Monster High videos are some of the most popular videos on YouTube, and the YT channel behind the most viral Monster High makeup tutorials is one from 11-yr old Emma of KittiesMama.
KittiesMama is family vlog channel, fun by their parents and starring Emma and her two brothers. We've known this family for several years, and we LOVE them! {Anytime we find another family who dedicates a great deal of time to create videos for YouTube, it is easy to see that we have a lot in common. They become more than just friends to us.}
Two months ago, Emma's family drove from Kansas down to Texas just to visit us so that we could film this Spooktorial collab for you all! We had a great time, and the kids laughed and played until no end.
Today, we are going to teach you how to create the hair from Sirena Von Boo's character from Monster High. We felt that this was the perfect collaboration to film together, because I am not an expert in character makeup and Sirena Von Boo has a very complicated hairstyle.
Kamri and Emma had fun playing with the makeup and learning this hairstyle. They also had lots of looks from passers by as we went out to take photos! Paisley, of course, had fun playing with the doll!
To see your own recreations featured in our CGH App, feel free to tag your photos of this hairstyle on IG with: #CGHSirenaVonBoo
The purpleish-blue wig is from Light In The Box. It is important to remember that you are dealing with a wig here. This is not real hair, and it will not style like real hair. As such, just know that the hairstyle will not look perfect and there is nothing wrong with that.
Items Needed: Blue/Purple long-haired wig {LightInTheBox.com}, brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 4 small clear hair elastics, 1 purple ponytail holder, extra-hold hairspray, blow dryer.
Time Requirement: 20 minutes
Skill Level: Medium-Hard

This is just ink, or even mostly ink. It's actually colored pencil and watercolor with ink lineart. Project I did for class. I posed for myself in this one, had a friend take a photo of me like that. It was interesting to cartoonize myself.
This piece has also been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

This art/photo has 6 comments. Post your own now!So very awesome!! It should be in a manga or a comic book or something. Looks real and surreal at the same time.
Not only do you write extremely well, but your talent goes even further. AWESOME ARTWORK, this must have taken forever. So much detail and it's abstract nd just like pure awesome insanity. Coolness.
i love how strong this artwork is! there is a great range of colors used, and the foreshortening perspective deserves a standing ovation! love it. A+++ from me too!
